Abstract (en)

[origin: WO8904966A1] The apparatus (10) includes a capillary tube (310) having input and output ends and having a detector (290) coupled thereto. A rotatable table (170) is provided at each end of the capillary tube and each table includes sample cups (190) for containing samples to be analyzed, and, if desired, a medium to be introduced into the capillary for transporting a sample substance to be analyzed. An electrode (360) is provided adjacent to each end of the capillary tube for applying electrical potential across the capillary tube to cause charge particules of a sample to flow through the capillary tube and past said detector which detects the components of the samples. Electronic means including a computer (400) are provided for causing various portions of the apparatus to operate automatically when performing an analytical operation.
